Overview

Mission

To enrich the lives of disadvantaged citizens and develop their environment through programs and services that encourage personal growth and community participation. Our main focus areas are Food Security, Youth and Environmental Services, Homeless and Emergency Assistance.

What it reported doing in 2021

Our youth programs offers youth in the blackbelt opportunities to improve their quality of life. Through our year-round youth services we focus on teaching Arts & Crafts, Environmental Justice, Life Skills, Sports, Music, Mentorship, S.T.E.M., Leadership Skill & more. Since 2019 we have brought together members of neighboring or nearby communities that have little contact with each other to teach participants skills meant to spur their interest in and prepare them for increased involvement in science, coding and IT-related activities or employment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
